Two guitars, one sound cosmos: The Molina Guitar Duo in Neu-Ulm

On Friday, October 30, 2026, the Molina Guitar Duo will transform the Small Hall at Edwin-Scharff-Haus in Neu-Ulm into a space full of sonic connections. With The Art of Polyphony 2.0, Isabella Selder and Santiago Molina Gimbernat present a concert program that links baroque forms, modern sound language, and virtuoso chamber music.

When two guitars converse

Polyphony means more than just the simultaneous sounding of multiple voices for the Molina Guitar Duo. In their arrangements, the guitars enter into an immediate dialogue: melodies wander between the instruments, accompaniment figures densify the sound, and rhythmic impulses mesh precisely. The finely tuned synchronization allows a multifaceted musical structure to emerge from two individual voices.

From Bach to Ponce: Tradition with new breath

The program features original arrangements and works by Johann Sebastian Bach, Georg Friedrich Händel, Domenico Scarlatti, Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco, and Manuel M. Ponce. The musicians open a broad panorama between baroque counterpoint, colorful guitar literature, and modern concert aesthetics. Each passage shows how versatile and orchestral two classical guitars can sound.

Virtuosity with chamber music intimacy

Isabella Selder and Santiago Molina Gimbernat met during their studies at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg. Since 2017, the duo has combined their passion for chamber music with the ambition to expand the guitar repertoire beyond familiar boundaries. The stage performance thrives on precise conducting in interplay, dynamic shaping, and direct musical exchange.

An ensemble with an international profile

The Molina Guitar Duo has performed at international guitar festivals, including the International Guitar Festival in Cyprus and the International Guitar Festival in Munich. In April 2023, their debut album Paris! was released by the label Aurea Vox, which received positive reviews from music critics. Both musicians play instruments made by the luthier Kolya Panhuyzen.
